These Regulations modify, for the 12-month period beginning with the day on which they come into force, the Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/611). The purpose of the modification is to update, for the period of 12 months beginning with the date on which these Regulations come into force, the definition of the Combined Heat and Power Quality Assurance Standard to refer to issue 8 of that Standard, which is available together with its accompanying guidance notes at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/chpqa-standard or in hard copy upon request from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy at 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0ET.

An impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument since the modifications made by it will remain in force for no more than 12 months.
